After their 2-2 draw with Barcelona in El Clasico, Valdano told Marca his side should be worried over their current defensive form, and that Marcelo who was the reason behind the Blaugrana’s first goal which was typical to the mistake he has done against Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League, needs to be much more focused.

“The defense of the Real Madrid has to be more attentive, especially against Liverpool, a team that lives on the mistakes of opponents.

“Give a photo of Salah to Marcelo, so that he begins to include him in his prayers and be more careful in his corridor.” suggested the Argentine.

The Pharaoh faced Real Madrid in the Champions League when he was a Roma player, and played against Marcelo in the London Olympics were the Pharaoh scored against Brazil, yet with his 43 goals this season, Salah has grown much more dangerous against the opposition.

Despite failing to score in his last three games, the Egyptian remains a threat to any team, and with the amount of rest he will receive before the fixture a lot is expected from Liverpool’s no 11.
